Every Saloon Man Csn Open n Drug Store
with Bar Room Attachments.
To the Ed or of the Gazette.
brentwood, TEX, March "a
Although the pharmacy bill, lately de-
ceased at austin, has been repeatedly
discussed in the columns of THE GAZETTE,
permit me to mention a fact connected
with it, which seems TO hsve escaped the
minds Of the learned gentlemen, Who sell
their wisdom to the state of Texas at
S. 90 pr day.
Provisions have been made by them, to
lesson the evil of WHISKY selling through
out the state by submitting the prohibition
amendment to vote of the people. Did
it ever occur TO this conclave of wise men
now assembled at Austin, that without
a provision to regulate the drug business,
every saloon man has it in his power to
open drug store with baT-roOm attach
ments? Is there a Chinese wall built
around this grand state, that they could
not learn from the experience of other
states, where the liquor traffic is carried
on under the guise of drug stores? Has
nobody ever told them, that, after the
prohibition amendment became law in
Kansas, bar-rooms were, as if by magic,
transformed into pharmacies, whose main
stock in trade was "elegant bOCze"?
do not presume to suppose, that the
Senate defeated the passage Of above
bill out of mere "cussedness", or were
Influenced by the liquor raternity-far be
it from my mind to think SO. But they
evidently have committed blunder, the
effects of which the near future will show.
Now as to the remedy. Let every honest
minded druggist and physician, who have
the welfare of the people at heart CO.
operate with the prohibition party
whether or not they indOrse their priu-
ciples, as from this party alone we can
hope for the remedy of an evil, which has
consigned hundreds of people to a prema
ture grave, and keeps the respectable
physician on the "anxious seat" for fear,
that an untimely death, caused by a
"home-made" druggist, may be laid at
his door. Letthe prohibition amendment
be carried, and the respectable pharmacist
in many communities will be driven out
of business as his brother disciple of
hipDocrates, with bar attachments will be
able to under sell him in drugs, as his
profits will be derived from another
source.
Let the SOlons of the Senate, who de-
feated the bill ''put this in their pipe, and
smoke it." PHARMACIST.

A Transaction in TOOIs-LOssss Adjusted
Cotton Receipts.
Special to the Gazette.
GAINESVILLE, Tx, March 28.-A
stranger who gave his name as Al Hayes,
went into carpenter shop on Dye street
this morning, aud possessed himself Of q
lot of tools by telling the man in charge
of the shop that the proprietor of the shop
had said he might get them, as he (Hayes)
had bought the tools and paid for them.
AS soon as his fraud was discovered
search was at once instituted for Hayes,
and he was found in neighbOriDg saloon.
He was then asked to give up the tools,
which he refused to do, still claiming
that he had bought them. Finding that
the tools could not be obtained from
Hayes without trouble the carpenter sent
for Officers Womack and Anglin, who
made Hayes give up his booty and
marched him off to Jail. He will answer
at the April term of the County court for
petty larceny.
Work on the foundations of four new
tWo-story brick stores was commenced
on Saturday, and will be pushed TO COM

Dive street, three blocks from the public
square.
Work on the Santa Fe shops will be
commenced i'll the next few days and
will progress very rapidly.
The losses by fire on the morning Of the
22d have nearly all been settled, and the
adiusters, with one or two exceptions,
have left. The work of rebuilding the
burned buildings will be started in the
near future.

A LIVELY GHOST.
Caught In a Cellar, Round Hands and Feet
and His Mouth of Olover-Seed.

ClnClnndll Enquirer.
LONDON, OHIO, March 19.-Ghosts,
the devil or some other unseen power are
tearing down a house and kicking up 8
tremendous excitement in Darby Town
ship, this county.
About twenty five years ago a pretty
girl, remembered then only as Nora,
lived with noted epiTitualiSt and his
family, and became the victim of an uu-
wise love for the gentleman's son. Early
one spring morning ner body, cold in
death, was found hanging from a plum
tree in deep thicket near the house, and
since that time the locality OF he thiCket
and the little family graveyard, where
the girl was buried, near by, have been
said to be haunted by her ghost.
On the same farm, and near the haunted
thicket, now stands the neat farm dwell
ing of Mr.. Harlan P. Wood, the scene Of
the present excitement. For several
nights past he has attributed the throw
ing of stones through his window to a
man whom he some time ago discharged
from his service. But the man could not
be found, and all Of last night and to-day,
st short intervals, stones and brickoats
have been flying through the sitting room
window, sometimes being thrown out
ward, by unseen hands.
Hundreds of clear-hesded people have
visited the place and go away completely
mystifed. Constable DOnOhOe and 8
deputy watched the premises last night,
but made no discovery that would imply
any human agency in the mysterious
work. One of the rooms has stored in it
a large quantity of clover-seed, which is
being by unseen power distributed about
in every part Of the house, and the same
agency brings potatoes from bin in the
cellar AMI lays them Gown five IL pile
on the sitting-rOom floor.
This forenoon Constable DonOhOe went
to the cellar TO watch the potatoes, and
soon after was heard calling for help. On
going down t. him, his friends fouud
MIN lying on the cellar floor with his
hands and feet tied, and his eyes and
mouth stuffed with clover seed. He
states that he was thrown down by uu-
seen hands, and seems 10 be considerably
worked up by it. A representative of the
Enquirer has jlst returned from the
haunted house. The excitement in the
neighborhood is intense.

FORT WORTH, TEX, March %, 1887.
The weeks trade opened well to-day.
A buoyant feeling is manifest and mer-
chants look with reason for heavy
spring business.
1t is still matter OF surprise that with
the good prices paid for country butter
and the heavy demand the supply should
be SO small.
The few pounds of wool on the market
to day brought fair prices as quoted.
The market is still unsettled.
SPICES, FRUITS AND RICE.
The features of the market for these
commodities presented little of recent
change. In spices inquiry was chiefly
for nutmegs, which favored holders
pepper, ginger and cloves, on the con-
trary, ruling weak on a light demand.
Rice had fair sale at generally firm
rates. A very tame movement was re-
ported in fruits, which were irregular,
but not altered materially.
MOLAsSgs AND SYRUP.
At the outset, under a good demand,
boiling qualities muscavadO molasses had
been advanced to 19c. for 80 test, fol-
lowed by lulI and weaker bidding, up
to Thursday, March II, when more
s-eadiness was noted, and at the quoted
rate three cargoes were placed for Phila-
delphia. Groceries qualities of foreign
and domestic product were held conf
IDENTIFY, though quiet. Sugar house
product ruled dull and unchanged.
Syrups varied little on slow outlet
HOG PRODUCTS.
The market for pork, lard and short
ribs, the more active hog products, OF late
has continued active, but the tendency of
prices to advance has not been so pro-
nounced. The increased prices naturally
had a tendency to induce farmers and
others to market their hogs freely,
which in turn produced a sup.
ply sufficient TO preCipitate some
thing of reaction, which even the much
talked Of short crop IF IDdian corn was
unable to prevent. The situation between
the present time and the close OF the crop
year promises to be Interesting if nothing
else-thtt is, whether the fOndest entici-
pations of the bulls are met more than
